DEEP BELLY BREATHING FOR REDUCING STRESS AND ANXIETY

Have you ever noticed how you breathe when you feel relaxed?

The next time you are relaxed, take a moment to notice how your body feels.

Breathing exercises can help you to relax, because when you bring your body in a relaxed state, your emotions, thoughts and feelings follow.

Deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower stress in the body. This is because when you breathe deeply, it sends a message to your brain to calm down and relax.

The brain then sends this message to your body.

Those things that happen when you are stressed, such as increased heart rate, fast breathing, and high blood pressure, all decrease as you breathe deeply to relax.
